Hi,
 I've installed NetBSD-current amd64 "from scratch" and I've got the same boot 
problem as when updating the system. Now, booting daily current-images from 
qemu,I continue to get the same message:

"Booting from Hard Disk...
 NetBSD MBR boot
 
 NetBSD/x86 ffsv2 Primary Bootstrap"

...and the boot process stops.

The system boots normally from a cdrom's boot prompt.

Cheers.
